Use PayPal to enable e-commerce on your website – a simple solution

Paypal makes it very easy to create a shopping cart on your website. I will show you two ways to do it, first the easy way and then the more secure (but really not that hard either) way. Paypal makes money by charging a small percentage of the purchase price. They deduct that automatically from the payment, so that’s easy as well. The only caveat is that if your monthly sales are more than $3000 US you have to apply for a merchant account. After your merchant account is approved, the rates drop the more you sell.
